Job Description

Posted on: February 8, 2026

Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency. Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.What This Opportunity Involves While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:

  • Design rigorous physics problems reflecting professional practice;
  • Evaluate AI solutions for correctness, assumptions, and constraints;
  • Validate calculations or simulations using Python (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy);
  • Improve AI reasoning to align with industry-standard logic;
  • Apply structured scoring criteria to multi-step problems

What We Look For This opportunity is a good fit for physicists with an experience in python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

  • Degree in Physics or related fields, e.g. Engineering Physics, Thermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, Optics and Acoustics, etc.
  • 3+ years of professional physics experience
  • Strong written English (C1/C2)
  • Strong Python proficiency for numerical validation
  • Stable internet connection

Professional certifications (e.g., CPhys, EurPhys, MInstP) and experience in international or applied projects are an advantage. How It Works Apply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get paid Project time expectations For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10-20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is active. Payment

  • Paid contributions, with rates up to $55/hour*
  • Fixed project rate or individual rates, depending on the project
  • Some projects include incentive payments
  • Note: Rates vary based on expertise, skills assessment, location, project needs, and other factors. Higher rates may be offered to highly specialized experts. Lower rates may apply during onboarding or non-core project phases. Payment details are shared per project
